Fantastic response to the Observer's terrifying vision of Jocastas and Saffrons descending on Bridport and turning it into some kind of Padstow-like FrankenRickstein if you'll pardon the pun.

The spokesman went on to say ""we dont want to break with tradition so the new clock will be programmed to beep thirteen times when ringing in the new year"". cordless says ,how come i haven't heard the thirteen bells on new year.perhaps i'm to preocupied at that time.will the new clock need a new back up battery once a year?will the poor old clockwinder be paid off and made redundent?

Thank you for being both observant, and clever, you have to be from up north!!! Dragon

My Dad was an airline pilot. He died peacefully in his sleep, ... not screaming in terror like his passengers.

You did miss my point tuzo, I am no more anti catholic than I am anti any particular organised religion that operates under the threat that unless I am part of it then I am doomed to some hideous eternal non-death with fires and demons and all sorts of other fairy tale rubbish. I don't have a problem with the ethos that most religions base themselves on ie love and peace, but considering worldwide the number of people who supposedly ""believe"" in these love and caring orientated religions, I would have to say that the world is a in a bit of a crappy state. And another point, spending eternity with a bunch of christians doesn't sound like heaven to me.

I can imagine spending eternity surrounded by Christians would be like spending eternity in rehab. Considering the majority of followers of the Christian faith (in this country anyway) have had some kind of crisis/breakdown/emotional battering which broke down their self-belief and self-esteem so low that they turn to bizarre fiction for ""hope"", I would assume that heaven would be full of self-help clinics, non-alcohlic bars, censored pornography (or atleast porn that is only shown when the participants are pro-creating), coffee mornings and free spray-on urine&lavender scent. A place where teenage rebellion is to sing Kumbayja-Me-Lord slightly out of tune, or with a bit of a ""swing"" to the rythmn. A place where nobody has even the slightest incling to not conform to the norm, to not be adverse to any opinion or act. To love unconditionally all of humanity and forgive all... perpetually turning the other cheek. A place where it is impossible to do anything that may directly or indirectory have a negative effect on anyone else. How INHIBITING! How FRUSTRATING! That WOULD be torture! I know this is a HUGE cliche, but it rings true! ""Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.""

there is nothing wrong with guilt, rustic.. it serves its purpose (re guilt ridden followers)and i would have thought taking a pop at the pope was anti catholic what ever you say.

Posted by Bentley, on 25-04-2007 20:04,

You have got it right there carlito, the most unsatisfying thing about trying to open up heated debate with people of christian beliefs is that no matter how accurate and even hurtful and offensive your points are, under their own rules they have to forgive you! unlike other religions who would be out in the street burning effigies of you, calling on all their brothers sisters aren't aloud to have any say) to kill you on sight, while at the same time declaring themselves to be open, tolerant, caring and loving. Being an athiest would be more fun if it wasn't so bloody easy.

Tuzo I don't think Rustic could give a Castle-Maine XXXX as to whether you think he's anti-catholic or not. Besides he's already said he's anti-organised religion, which I believe Catholicism falls under, does it not? Guilt is fine if the outcome of your guilt has some effect on the original cause of the guilt. Example: You have two cows, you tell one cow that the other cow has bigger udders and laugh in her face about it. The cow becomes depressed. You feel GUILT. You then buy the cow a nice bunch of cowslips wrapped up in a yellow bow. The cow feels much better and all is good. Guilt was the trigger in the above example for an act that reversed the cause of the guilt. Christians are walking the earth GUILTY because a man called Jesus apparently died on the cross (or...""gave his life"")so that the sins of humanity would be forgiven. Christians therefore for feel eternally indebted to Jesus for this act and are guilty that ""the son of God"" had to die because of their sins. I have literally seen Christians weeping with guilt. Weeping with meakness, and we-are-not-worthy-ness. It is a VERY SAD state to be in. The point is, no amount of GUILT in this case will have any effect on the cause. Mainly because the cause is based on FICTION, and if not FICTION but at least something partially-notable that happened thousands of years ago and was entirely mis-construde, and has no bearing on you personally, and therefore in this instance the Guilt is a wasted emotion, it is self-destroying and you need to GET OVER IT. LIVE LIFE TUZO! Indulgence instead of abstinence! Wisdom instead of dillusional theories! Take responsibility for your life, every day, every hour, every minute. Remember - it's YOU. You are IT. The buck stops with YOU. And remember, many of the ""sins"" lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification! ""LUKE...."" - ""LOOK AT YOUR PITIFUL REBEL ALLIANCE""...""REACH OUT STRIKE ME DOWN..."" ...""YOU WILL COME TO THE DARK SIDE""... So...how did he get away with murdering his own father anyhow? NURSE!

As a personal friend of Leslie Walters, I can confirm rumour number 1.

Posted by shagsack, on 07-06-2007 18:59,

hey, anyone see the pope on the news last night? Bobbing along in his little 'popemobile' and then he's dodging bullets, brilliant! ...(wonder where his 3ft bulletproof plexiglass bubble was) It was all Bill Hicks and JFK and, hey, wait a minute, is theBat still on holiday?? mmmmm

Posted by The Bat, on 20-06-2007 05:51,

I don't believe in all this pope business. I mean, when the last pope got shot, did they cart him off to Lourde's to be instantly cured?? NOooooooo, it was the best surgeons money could buy wasn't it? And why does he drive around in that little pope buggy thingy when he could just levitate across the crowds waving??

Denzlepop If you read the 'HERO OR PSYCHO?' thread you will read that I have been ousted from the clocktower (temporarily I hope as I left the iron on.

""Doh! I said I'll try and get this donut over the end of your STICK!""

Don't be so small minded Dragon. Most travelling families have more morals and standards than the rest of us, and are a very proud and stigmatised part of society. I welcome them.

Sorry to hear Ms Foote has had bad luck with her husband but the lady did her self no favours by saying that a four bed house wud be no where near big enough.Afraid that if you are up the creek without a paddle you take anything u can get.Three beds wud be plenty even if you have to have a bed settee in sitting room.The only time you can choose the size of house is if you have the dosh to buy.Have been in same position so can empathise.

I declare I find myself agreeing with you again Carlito. However you missed out the ""man saves monkey"" and ""man jumps off cliff"". And I look forward to the traditional headlines in Sept of; ""best ever carnival"" (not) ""West Bay traders takings down"" (lie - can only afford 3 weeks in Australia instead of usual 4) ""traffic chaos, Lib Dems call for car parking at Askers Meadow"" (why not walk) ""park and ride a success say Lib Dems"" (thought there was traffic chaos) ""Make Askers Meadow a Nature Reserve call Lib dems"" (thought you wanted car parks) ""Conservative Cllrs do the most for the town, they are just great"" (policy statement of View from Bridport freebee) any more....

Why, when we all put our glass botles out for recycling, does the concil not provide facilities for the bars in town to put all their bottles out for recycling? They just get thrown in the normal bins and put in landfills.

Posted by Astrantiger, on 29-11-2007 19:22,

Residents of West Bay Road that are too bone idle to get up in the morning to put their rubbish out, they put it out the night before and whinge when its strewn everywhere the next morning.

Posted by tuzo, on 30-11-2007 12:54,

so you get up at seven to put out your rubbish astra? i would rather be in the arms of Morpheus.

Posted by Bradpolebeastly, on 04-01-2008 10:14,

I agree with mrplanet, although some places are so caring they actually pay extra for their bottles to be recycled by some company (presumably not the council). As for no wheely bins - all the residential complexes etc (and there's more than a few of them around here) have no option but to lump all the rubbish into landfill because THEY say that THEY can't accommodate the things. Aren't the bin lorries rented/hired?

Posted by Rosieo6, on 12-02-2008 11:40,

The worst offender for not recycling is West Dorset District Council. If they EVER bring in fines for not recycling properly I will be out with my camera and protesting all over the shop! They would do well to adhere to the old bible quote 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'but the motto for DCC seems to be more like 'don't do as I do,do as I say!'

Posted by Rustic, on 12-02-2008 15:45,

What's the point with all this talk about re-cycling. It is just the same old stuff going round and round, which I suppose is the point.
